Here is a Photo Of the New Setup w/ Mistking
Ok So Here is a photo of my new setup. My main Bucket in bottom left is the water res. for the mistKing. (Still working on Drainage which is what the 3 clear collector buckets are on the bottom of the rack) The bucket in the upper right was just...
Ok I just got my male his final 2x2x4 .. So I put my female in his older 18x18x36. She is around 4 months old.
Ever since I put her in she hasn't moved. An inch. I put her in it. She stayed exactly where she was for about 3 hours. Didn't move at all. So I poked her a bit and she moved to...
Tossed em
Seemed like the hassle/worry isnt worth the trouble. So I just tossed the remaining monster hornworms in the little garden area in my apt building. Waste of a little bit of cash, but oh well. Live and learn I guess.
Yea the more and more I think about it, the more it looks like I will be sticking to ordering the smaller ones and letting them grow. I probably have about 20 now that are going to be on the too big side.
Luckily the silk worms that came were all small, So it will be a while before they are...
I dont quite know. I am sure there are some other forums that have horn worm care. I think I read that you can slow them down by putting them in the fridge on and off. But dont quote me on that one.
On my lunch break I went home and gave him one. He got it down, took him a little longer then...
How big is too big to feed my 10mo male panther? I have a bunch left now and I am thinking they are almost to the point where they are too big. I am thinking my cham is about full grown
I fed him one of the bigger ones yesterday, and he took a while to get it down. Do I need to worry about...
Some are pretty big in the pod. I would say the bigger ones are almost full grown. Guessing 3.5 inches and pretty fat.
The thing that gets me is that he LOVES them. I'm gonna make a video at 200fps this weekend for some nice slo-mo footage. I'll use one of the bigger ones so we can see him...
Hornworm size
Looking at some of the hornworms I have left. Some are really big. Maybe 3-4 inches.
How big is too big for horn worms??? They aren't cheap so I don't want to waste them, but then again I don't want to feed him anything too big.
He doesn't seem to mind the size. He just...
That is my main goal for him. I want to give him a variety of feeders. Right now he has the option of crickets, hornworms, superworms, and silk worms.. The silk worms are still a bit too small to feed to my boy but I feed them to my female while they grow.
I was worried that the horn worms...
My 9.5 month old male panther seems to always just want to eat. The second I come around the cage he instantly goes into hunt mode looking at my hands. Starting to stick his tounge out even tough they are empty.
In the morning I give him 10-12 med crickets. Which he usually eats allnof them...
almost ate her own tail
So this morning I think she is finally coming around a bit. So I put a silk worm on her vine in front of her... She stared at it and walked completely around it by going upside down and looking at it from the other side, the only issue was her tail was still on the...
Sounds like he is just grumpy to me. Especially if temps are the same and it's just an environment change.
Funny because my male slept on the side of the cage uncurled the other day randomly. Never done that before. Just one night only. Haha.
A lot of this also has to do with who they hire as employees. The petco by my house actually has a reptile "expert" who seems to actually know what she is talking about and I think she somewhat cares about the reptiles there. I look at the Chams they have when they have them and they look ok...
I was thinking the same about her age, But have no reason to not trust this breeder, I wont say any names but they are sponsors, and have been around for while. I dont know what she weights yet as I dont have access to a gram scale right now.
I keep my male is an 18x18x40 but have ordered a...
awesome thanks. Cant wait to set up the new misting system for my 2 adult cages. the one I have now (wont mention names) isnt worth the hassle that it creates. I also am looking forward to the programmable timer! I work 40+ hours a week and usually run home on my lunch to do things. Maybe...
Ok. I placed my order online then. I noticed the city and zipcode somehow defaulted to an incorrect one on my shipping address, billing address is fine. I sent an email to the info@mistking email that I got my receipt from to hopefully fix the issue. Or else who knows where it will end up. haha
